Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 37

"Mandy, the hotel is right behind you. Why bother traveling all the way over to my house?" Rachel said as she tried to struggle out of Mandy's hands, but she failed. Mandy Wang had gripped her tightly.

"Rachel, my dear sister... Please, please? If I stay at your house tonight, I will be able to save some money. That way, I will be able to sustain for one more day. Please, just think about my dad. Please do me this favor for my dad's sake."

Time and again, Mandy used her father as an excuse to take advantage of Rachel. She spoke while holding Rachel's arms and tears flooding in her eyes.

Rachel wanted to turn her down, but she remembered that many years ago, Mandy's father had helped her family through some difficult times. She wasn't an ungrateful person so she couldn't refuse her request.

Rachel walked over to the Maybach, knocked on the car window, and said to Hiram in an embarrassed voice, "Hiram, she's a friend of mine. Could you please allow her to stay in your house for one night? Just for one night."

Rachel knew that even if she wanted to help Mandy, Hiram might not agree with her.

Rachel had no choice but to do something for her, as Mandy had been begging her desperately.

Hiram looked at Rachel, and without uttering a word, he opened the car door.

Rachel was a little surprised. She wondered what was wrong with Hiram. His attitude towards her seemed quite different from usual. Hiram agreed with everything she wanted to do today.

"Get in the car, " Rachel said to Mandy.

A happy and excited smile crept across Mandy's face on hearing Rachel's words. She opened the door, got inside the car and started to wonder, "Wow! I am sitting in a Maybach. It's so comfortable..."

Soon, the car arrived at the villa.

It was already half past eleven at night.

Mandy was stunned to see the great villa in front of her. She couldn't believe the grandeur of the place. In the past, Rachel had been the kind of woman that no man wanted to get together with. But now, she was living with a man, in a large and luxurious villa. A swimming pool and a garden were also built inside the villa. Located in the most prime location of H City, it was undoubtedly the most impressive house.

"Let me remind you, the owner of the house is very irritable. Don't touch his things and don't roam around the house by yourself. Tomorrow morning, pack your things and leave as early as possible. Go out on a house hunt for rented apartments, okay?" Rachel reminded Mandy. She hoped Mandy wouldn't be driven away by Hiram in the middle of the night. If Mandy got on his nerves, Rachel wouldn't be able to help her.

Mandy nodded her head in agreement. She had an important question in her mind. She held Rachel's hand and asked curiously, "Rachel, can you tell me what's your relationship with that man?"

"It doesn't concern you. Just mind your own business, " said Rachel. She threw a cold glance at Mandy.

"Rachel, please tell me, who is he? Please!" Mandy pouted her lips and asked. She wouldn't give up. She couldn't believe that Rachel was able to hook up with such a wealthy man.

Rachel knew very well what Mandy was trying to find out. She pulled away Mandy's hands and said, "He is my husband. You'd better keep away from him. Otherwise, if you annoy him, I wouldn't be able to save you."

"What? Really?

No, that's...impossible! He is your husband? But isn't it true that no man wants you..."

Mandy replied impetuously. When she realized that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and explained, "Sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I just meant that when it comes to relationships with men, you have always failed in the past. How did you succeed this time?"

"Mandy, do you wish that I won't be able to get married my whole life?" Rachel asked as she looked at the dramatical look on her face.

But before Mandy could reply, Rachel turned around and entered the villa.

After she got inside the villa, Rachel went straight to Hiram's bedroom. Hiram was taking a shower in the bathroom. Rachel knocked on the bathroom door and said, "Hiram, I want to remind you to lock your bedroom door when you go to sleep."

The bathroom door suddenly opened.

Hiram supported himself with one arm on the door frame. The bath towel rested on his shoulder. He looked at her with a confused expression and asked, "What do you mean by that? Are you afraid that you wouldn't be able to control your desire to slip into my bed?"

Rachel laughed and stared at him. She said, "If I wanted to do that, I would have done that long ago. My sister loves wealthy and handsome men like you. I didn't want to invite her to stay here. But I had no choice. So, you'd better take care of yourself."

"Really? Okay, I'll take your words as a compliment."

Rachel was about to leave, but Hiram held her hand. He looked into her eyes and said in a tender voice, "Thank you for buying me food tonight. Although there were a lot of bugs there, I still enjoyed myself; it felt quite good."

"You're welcome. I should be going now, " said Rachel. Rachel accepted his appreciation. She drew back her hand, turned around and left his bedroom.

Hiram watched her go, and then he closed the bathroom door to carry on with his shower.

Rachel went back to her bedroom. She was so tired that she immediately kicked off her slippers and threw herself on the comfy bed to get some sleep. She decided to have a bath in the morning. She was exhausted.

Soon enough, she fell sound asleep.

However, Mandy wasn't able to sleep, in the guest room next to Rachel's bedroom. Immersed in her thoughts, she kept tossing and turning in the bed.

Mandy and Rachel had known each other for many years. To begin with, they had a similar family background and stood in the same social position. Mandy didn't have a mother, while Rachel didn't have a father.

As years passed by, Mandy got much better at relationships with boys as compared to Rachel. Initially, Mandy felt sympathetic towards Rachel, but after some time, she started to mock her. Rachel's bad luck in the love department was a big joke for Mandy, and she told it to all her friends.

But now, the woman whom she had always mocked, was living in a huge and glorious villa and to top it all, her husband was a super wealthy man.

Mandy recalled the moment when Hiram took a glance at her in the car. With that on her mind, her heartbeat rose rapidly.

Mandy had never thought that she would be able to come so close to a dream man like Hiram. But to her dismay, he was already married to Rachel.

Mandy couldn't control herself anymore. She changed her clothes, opened the door and went out of the guest room. She had observed which room Hiram had entered.

Mandy lowered her head and intentionally pulled down the neckline of her dress to make herself look sexier. She wore a sensual smile as she usually did for other men. Then, she slowly walked towards Hiram's bedroom.

"Excuse me, is Rachel there?" Mandy asked as she knocked on the door. She kept her smile and stood in her best posture.

After she had knocked for a while, the door finally opened. With sleepy eyes, Hiram glanced at the woman standing in the doorway. He frowned with annoyance.

"What's the matter?" asked Hiram.

Mandy studied Hiram's chiseled face with perfect facial features. She was instantly attracted towards his prominent nose, smooth lips, and deep eyes. Her heartbeat grew faster.

Mandy immediately moved her eyes away from Hiram, as she couldn't dare to look in his eyes. She inquired, "Where's Rachel? I need to talk to her."

As she lowered her head and spoke, Mandy sneakily glanced inside his bedroom, but she couldn't see Rachel inside.

'Didn't Rachel say that he is her husband?

Then why are they sleeping in separate bedrooms?' Mandy wondered.

"Rachel is in the adjacent bedroom, " said Hiram. He furrowed his brows, and without looking at her, Hiram went on to say, "It's late now. Can't you wait and talk to her tomorrow? Don't disturb her at this hour."

After saying that, Hiram was about to shut the door, but Mandy stopped him.

"Rachel said that you are her husband. Is that true?" Mandy asked abruptly. She wondered whether Rachel had lied to her, on the off chance that she would steal away her man.

Hiram was absent-minded for a moment after hearing her words. 'Rachel said that I am her husband?' he thought to himself. How much Hiram hoped that Rachel would address him as her husband in front of him.

"Yes."

"Then, why aren't you sleeping in the same bedroom? Is it because Rachel is too conservative? Perhaps she doesn't know how to satisfy you?" Mandy said bashfully as she looked at him. Her eyes were filled with sensuality.

That was why Rachel had reminded him to lock the bedroom door. Rachel really knew Mandy's personality quite well. Hiram smiled coldly and thought.

"That's a private affair between Rachel and me. It has nothing to do with you, " Hiram said bluntly.

Mandy realized that Hiram had understood the intention behind her visit. But she wasn't surprised by his cold attitude towards her. He was a wealthy and honorable man; he had every right to look down upon her.

Mandy lowered her head and spoke coyly, "I know Rachel is a very kind woman. But she had been dumped by men many times. We all were worried that no man would marry her ever. She is lucky to meet you and marry you!"

"Are you done?" Hiram yawned and asked impatiently.

He had seen all kinds of people. Judging from the look in Mandy's eyes when they met for the first time, Hiram had already understood what kind of person she was.

If it hadn't been for Rachel's sake, he wouldn't have allowed that woman to come near Tulip Palace.

Mandy was Rachel's friend, even though he didn't like Mandy, he had to show respect towards Rachel as he had promised her.

He was doing his best to show respect towards Rachel, but it didn't mean that he would tolerate Mandy's annoying behavior.

"Can I call you Hiram? Rachel and I are sisters, so we are practically relatives now. Hiram, I have no place to live in. You have so many spare rooms here, can you let me stay here for a while?" asked Mandy.

She discreetly glanced at him; her eyes glimmered with hope. If she could somehow prolong her stay here, she would be able to find another chance to seduce Hiram.

He was quite a catch. She couldn't let Rachel have him. Rachel was the kind of woman who always brought bad luck to men.

Mandy was quite foolish. She hadn't realized that she had already annoyed Hiram and his anger was on the verge of explosion!
